The Silent One

Chapter III

September 2, 2015

I finally found my first period class and as I'm entering someone is exiting and bumps into me. I immediately let out a loud sigh to express my anger at whoever it was. But before I can say anything the person apologizes.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. I'm such a idiot for not watching where I'm going. " Said this girl with a soft but nervous voice.

I stand in shock as I realized I got mad at someone who was too nice to do anything like this on purpose. "It's alright." I tell her in a low tone as I enter class.

"Oh ok, well sorry about that. Won't happen again." She said as she ran down the hall.

I try to forget the whole scene as I find a empty seat in the back. As I sit down I notice a couple eyes on me. Maybe it's what I'm wearing I thought to myself.

I decided to wear what I love the most which is black. Something about it just makes me comfortable. Maybe it's because it doesn't stick out as much as other colors. But anyways to some people I looked somewhat gothic or emo, but they're just stupid and didn't care.

A few minutes pass by when the teacher walks into class.

"Hello class my name is Mr.Ramos & I will be your English teacher for the year. I'm not very familiar with some of you but others I do know. So while I do the attendance and you hear your name is like you to stand up and say something you did during the summer." He says this while getting a clipboard witch had the attendance on it.

He goes around calling people out & they stand and say what they did. Some where interesting like go to Europe or do something cool. Made me feel as if I did nothing during summer, which I did.

"Ummmm, Rick Moon?" Says Mr.Ramos with a unsure tone to his voice as if my name was difficult to comprehend or read. "Mr.Moon may you please tell us something that you did during the summer?"

"Not much" I said in a low voice. I then sit down.

Throughout that whole period everyone just talked to each other and I sat in the back hoping that no one were to approach me and or talk to me. Everything was going well until that girl came back to class

"Sorry about the wait Mr.Ramos, I got a bit lost and distracted by a few other teachers" she said while trying to catch her breath.

"It's alright Sabrina just take a seat anywhere you'd like." Said Mr.Ramos as he was trying to be friendly with some other students.

Sabrina stood at the front for around thirty seconds before finally looking at me. She starts walking towards my direction and I look away so that she doesn't try and start a conversation. She proceeds to sit next to me and put down her stuff.

"Hey, sorry about what happened earlier I was in a rush. My name is Sabrina by the way." She says as she sticks out her right hand also that I can shake her hand. I shake her hand but stay silent.

"You don't talk much do you?" She asks while smiling a bit. In response I shake my head and start to dig in my bag. I get out a book and start to read it.

Sabrina takes the hint that I'm not in the mood to talk so she leaves me alone.

There were only around ten minutes before class ended so I stood there reading my book.

When class was over I stood in my seat until everyone else walked out. Afterwards I got up and exited the room. I headed up to the fourth floor to go to my next period class and while heading to class I saw someone I wish I never saw today. His name was Michael Williams and he was basically my bully.

Ok so let me tell you about this douchbag. He is one of those guys that think they're the best thing out there but in fact aren't. Well for some reason he has something against me which is crazy since I've never said a word to him LITERALLY. But yeah, I didn't like him and for some reason he didn't like me. So seeing him made me freeze.

"Well if it isn't the mute." Said Michael out loud to his group of friends which laugh at the comment he said

I try to go around them but Michael grabs me by my arm and pulls me back.

"Where do you think you're going you little bitch, I'm not done here!" He says with anger clearly taking over him. Almost as if I've hurt him or something.

"Hey! What are you kids doing?" Says a teacher from a classroom while she stands near the door.

"Oh nothing we were just messing with our friend here. We'll go to class now." Says Michael in a innocent tone that was clearly faker then the shoes he was wearing.

"Are you ok Rick? Clearly those kids have nothing better to do." Said Mrs.Nakamura.

"I'm fine." I tell her in a low voice but loud enough for her to hear me.

Mrs.Nakamura has known me from freshman year so she understands how I am. We have a special bond although there isn't much communication.

I go into her room because this is where my math class will be. I actually let out a smirk when I realized that my class was half empty. I sat in the back as usual and started to get out my textbooks.

Half an hour into class and I'm done with all my math work. So I proceed to take out my phone and check out tumblr. After about five minutes I get bored and lay my head on the very hard desk which for some reason felt comfy, but maybe that was because of my hair. As I lay with my head down my eyes get heavy and I start to slowly close them. In just a couple of minutes I am in a deep sleep.
